We had a great 8hr trip today. Started off trolling limited out on blues and had 3 Spanish mackerel. Then ran in on the reef managed out limit of seabass and 2 triggers. The one trigger weighed in at 4.3lbs. Plenty of action the whole trip. We still have dates available for August and are booking for September. The inshore trolling and bottom fishing for flounder should remain good through September.
